    Floyd ducked

    Morales (Floyd stormed out in sparring after getting handily outboxed, which is extremely hard to achieve hence Floyd's reaction)
    Spadafora
    Williams
    Margarito
    Marquez at a fair weight (paid $600k to come in above a CW he set)
    Prime Cotto
    Prime Pacquiao
    Khan (https://www.boxingforum24.com/threads/proof-mayweather-ducked-amir-khan.710869/)
    Maidana's gloves (Paid $1m to force Maidana to wear purely foam gloves, Maidana was legally obligated to fight, he would have got sued or forced to wear foam gloves)
    IV bag spotters
    Anti Lidocaine advocates
    Impartial referees

    Maidana was a cherry pick gone horribly wrong. Made sure he got his Guerrero & Berto level chumps after that to ensure he could retire unharmed.

    I don't know that he really ducked anyone from his era. He gets a lot of hate for calling himself TBE. When you do that, you are held to a higher standard.

    It was more like he didn't face the absolute best competition from the era and the one ATG he fought (Pac) was about 5 years best its sell date. He could have fought Zoo, Stevie Johnston, Casamayor, Williams, Margarito, Wright, and a few others that would have added to his legacy. I'll admit to being a Mayweather hater and say that it wasn't all entirely his fault those fights didn't happen.

    When Floyd says "Manny's head was small then it was big" was he actually talking about Pacquiao's ego?
